Library Training: Using the Library’s Online Public Access Catalog for Legal Research
The Gould Law Library has many useful resources which may be found using our Online Public Access Catalog (“OPAC”). Learning how to use this tool will allow students to more effectively and completely research legal topics and beyond- OPACs are now found in almost all libraries and information centers. On Monday March 30, at 2:30 learn more about the OPAC by stopping by room L308 (the library’s large computer lab). Christine Morton, Reference Librarian, will be giving a short presentation on how to use our catalog.
